Just a couple of months ago on March 10th of this year, student-athlete volunteers on Queen’s Mental Health Awareness Committee (QMHAC) at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario put together a video about starting the conversation about mental health.
The video, which consisted of student athletes and the principal of Queens’s university Daniel Woolf, focused on the message that mental illness doesn’t care about a student’s GPA, friends, sports stats, grades, or how hard you work in school and sports. Mental illness can, and will, affect students. The videos message tells viewers that even if you are the best at school and sports, mental illness can still affect you.
